In January 2009, Geoff and I moved into a new house that has a basement room perfect for a dollhouse workshop. In fact, the very first time we saw the house, I was envisioning my minis in there! It was a bit of a mess for the first several months after we moved in, but we recently cleaned it up, and I took some pictures before I had a chance to mess it up again. Here's what it looks like (and what I'm working on) as of June 2009.

|
Built-in desk with a nice big workspace, and plenty of storage. |
The workshop has a sink! Which is good, because I make lots of messes... |
 |
 |
|
The
Orchid and the in-progress
Westville. |
The
Arthur, my first (toy)
dollhouse, and the Fairfield. |
 |
 |
|
My
plastic Tomy house, more or less
completed. |
The
Arthur is finished outside, and
mostly finished inside. |
 |
 |
|
My
first dollhouse — kind
of clunky, but I can't bear to get rid of it! |
The Orchid's furniture is packed away at the moment... |
 |
 |
|
The Westville's on a rolling table so I can easily pull it out and work on it. |
Here's the stack of kits I still have to get to one of these days! |
The day we tidied up the room and took these pictures, we found what I'm pretty sure was a mouse nest behind the desk. (Yuck!) We threw it away and vacuumed and I haven't seen evidence of a mouse since then, so I'm hoping it was just passing through. I REALLY don't want to come down here one day and find a mouse curled up in one of the dollhouse beds...
